Guyver II Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 04 Review

Written by Jax. Pics courtesy of Donnay

Guyver II comes in the same packaging as the previous Guyver Figures in the Max Factory BFC line. I like this packaging alot because it makes the toy appear more high end.

All accessories can be seen from through the clear window of the packaging.

Guyver II and I are the two Guyver Figures that come with the Unactivated G-Units.

As usual, Guyver II comes with interchangable ultra high frequency blades and interchangable fists, grab (for holding the megasmasher open) and a New part that looks something like a claw. This is different from Guyvers I and III which come with the open palm.

Other then that, it comes with the display stand which is included in all Guyver Action Figures in this Max Factory BFC series.

The paint job is perfect in the Max Factory Guyver Series. Even in small areas on the face the paint job is perfect, flawless.

Eyes come with a certain reflective paint so under certain angles of lighting they seem to be glowing slightly.
The Guyver II action figure is one of my favourite in this toy line. I like the fact that it is made to scale so if you line up Guyvers I II and III you will find that Guyver II is the tallest of the three.

This gives the whole Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection Line more anime accuracy and more variations. Its not one of those toy lines where moulds are recycled for similar figures. Every toy figure in this line is unique.

I love the design of Guyver II's face. He is the only Guyver that has an asymetrical face with two air vents on the right and two sonic orbs on the left.

Perhaps it's a hint by the author that because his control metal is damaged, it gives it a twisted and deformed element in the arrangement of features on his face.

Even the dent on the control metal on his forehead is replicated on this action figure if you take a close look. Talk about attention to details and manga accuracy.

The ultra high frequency blades on Guyver II are different from that of Guyver I, even though they both only have one blade.

Guyver I's blades are almost straight while Guyver II's are curved. It's little details like these that makes every Guyver unique in the anime and all these are captured and replicated in the toy figures.
Guyver II is very poseable, as is the norm in this toy series. Intelligently placed points of articulation allows you to re-enact battle scenes straight from the manga and anime. You would think that with so many points of articulation the action figure will be one ugly fellow but no. All joints are carefully hidden and don't bother you visually at all.

Guyver II can still be found on Amazon most of the time. I have personally sold him for 60 pounds shipped before but that was in 2001. Prices have gone up since then due to the rarity of this series and the high quality of the figures. Most people think only to get the Guyvers I and III because they thought they only needed the good guys. But after awhile they may realise that they need a worthy adversary to go along and then start looking for Guyver II.

Toy Review: Max Factory Figma Guyver I Figure vs Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I Figure

I have been a collector of the Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver figures for many years now and it was only recently that the Figma Guyver I  came to my attention. Even though I have seen pictures of the Figma Guyver I figure for a while, I had always thought that it was just a scaled down version of the previous Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I figure. It turns out that I was wrong and there are many differences between the old and new Guyver figure and the  Figma Guyver I   could be a good start to a promising toy line. In terms of scale, the Figma Guyver I figure is smaller than the BFC Guyver I figure but the differences do not stop here. Articulation and paint job wise, the Figma version is fantastic and even more articulated than the BFC version. For example, the Figma Guyver I can actually perform a high kick and a split which the BFC Guyver I is not able to, due to the very hard rubber located near the waist. Also, you can switch o...

Gigantic Dark Guyver III Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 09 Review

Written by Jax Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the  Gigantic Dark Guyver  is as shown. Box art looks great, and all the accessories can be seen through the clear display window. The   Gigantic Dark Guyver   comes with GigaSmasher changeable part, Gravity ram (long and short), Two interchangeable heads, one with sonic orbs closed and one open, three high frequency swords for each arm, interchangeable wrist parts (fist, grab, and hold), and an improved display stand (more on this) After spending about 10 mins untying all the wiring binding the Gigantic Dark Figure, he is finally released from his plastic prison and ready for action! But first let me point out a personal experience I had with the Gigantic Dark Guyver's High Frequency Blades. Everyone should take note of this. The three blades on the arm work this way. The longest and second longest blades have holes on the ends of the blades it self. On the arms there are corresponding pegs whe...

Guyver Figure- Guyver III Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection 01 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The Guyver Figures from the Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection are one of the coolest toy figures I have ever came across. The  Guyver III Bio Fighter Collection Series 01 (Max Factory)  is the first figure of this series. Lets review it point by point: Packaging: I personally love the packaging for this series. The outer layer is a transparent box which offers protection for the second layer. The second layer is the packaging which houses the plastic covers that sandwiches the Guyver III within it. It really looks good on display with all the printouts of the images of the toy itself, as well as display of the arsenal of interchangable arms and blades(more on this later). What is best is that you do not need to make any cuts or tears to the box in order to get the toy out. This means that if at any point you do not want to display the  Guyver III  figure any more, you can just pack it back in to the box just l...
